New Poultry Equipment Bulletin Is Published One of the chief factors in a successful poultry enterprise is good, equipment, says, Clifton F. Parrish, head of the poultry Extension staff at N. (X' State College. Such equipment will help increase egg production and a large part of $ can be made'on the home farm. To help farm,people meet their poultry production goals in the Foodfor-Freedom program, Parrish has cooperated with" Prof. R. S. Raarstyne, head of the State College Poultry Department, and other members of tbg Extension staff, to prepare a new farm bulletin; titled: "Equipment for Poultry." The publication is War Series Extension Bulletin No. 5, and is available free to citizens-of North Carolina Ufcon request, by .name and number, to the Agricultural Editor, N. C. State College, Raleigh. Among the pieces of poultry equipment described in detail in.tiie bulletin are brooders, feed hoppers, waterem, range shelters, nests, roosting racks, catching hooks, nets, screens, an iorineretorB with which to dispose of dasd birds. Photographs' and drawings to illustrate the desirable types of equipment and plans for building most of the equipment on the farm, are contained in the publication. "Good- equipment makes for better health and higher production of the farm flock," said Parrish. "Regardless of the importance of good equipment and its relation to profit, it iB relatively easy to find a flock owner needed on a at heme." — 1 -' J QUESTION: " fiow much salt should be used in coring pork? ANSWER? E. V. Vestal, affimal husbandry Extension specialist, says It m once a common belief that 50 pound* of salt wen necessary for curing a 260-pound hog. Now it is realised then is no need to waste that much salt, and, in addition, the meat will cure out too salty for good eating. Last year, Vestal said, he used 7 pounds of salt, 2 pound, of brown sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter per 100 pounds of pork and got excellent cured meat. - 4 QUESTION: Is the use of cottonseed meal, soybean meal, and peanut meal to be encouraged in mixed fertilisers now that nitrogen is short ?/ ANSWER: Supplies of these vegetable meals are much. greater tiiis year than ever before, and their tne in fertilisers should be' encouraged where econotnlc Conditions justify. The cost of nitrogen from these sources is now approximately $4 per unit greater than that from inorganic sources, and at this price can'be justified in any large quantity only on crops giving a relatively high return, such as tobacco and track crops»-;--':" . -• , - Loans Made On 1942 Wheat Crop In State More than 400 North Carolina farmars have pbtained federal loans, to date, on 91,430 bushels of the 1942 wheat crop, according to W- Herbert White, Caswell County fanner and a member of the State AAA Committee. ' The 'wheat loam are made by the Commodity Credit Corporation through county AAA offices, awl are available on wheat produced oh any farms operated substantially in compliance with the AAA program. North Carolina's loan rate ibis year has beat set. at $1.37 par bushel for No. 2 wheat and fl.36 per bushel for No. 3 wheat, with lower Bates for corresponding lower grades and with discounts for garlicly and smutty grain. . The 409 loans already made in North Carolina this year include 27,628 bushels of wheat stored on farms and 63,802 bushels stored in commercial warehouses. The. total amount advanced to producers is $121,967.44. Storage of, wheat oil farms for the purpose of obtaining federal loans is being permitted for the first time this year in view of the shortage of storage space to house the nation's 1942 crop! White said. Producers scoring wheat en their farms receive an allowance of seven cents per bushel in storage fees, and are responsible for care of the wheat during the time it is in storage. Applications for loans may be made at any county. AAA office through December 81, 1942: • Ail loans mature on April 30,. 4948, but may be called before that time by the Corporation. During the ported of the loan, the grower may repay the loan and reclaim wheat Warehouse storage costs are assumed by Commodity Credit Corporation unless the loan la repaid before maturity. rjjffi laugh and fo* world will laugh with you.

" Our "Wajr of Living" to Undergo Changes. The increasing range of .various kinds of control—rationing in one form or another of items from meat, tires, gasoline /and fuel oil to rubber work boots, restrictions on production, delivery and use of some products and a complete end to production of a great many more—point the fact that we are entering a stage ~ot- war economy in which we will have ipuch. leas choice of all the things- we might want. After the first of the year,- with even more drastic cuts in the manufacture of civilian goods, well begh) to notice how thoroughly our way of living is (undergoing changes.
